Leaving the Point takes an intimate look at a pivotal moment in Point Reyes National Seashore, just north of San Francisco. Since the 1800s, the region has been home to a resilient community of cattle and dairy ranches. When the Seashore was established in 1962, those operations were allowed to continue under an unusual arrangement of government leases. But now, under growing legal pressure from environmental groups, the ranches are being phased out. Leaving the Point amplifies the voices of Seashore residents, who are most impacted by the changes in Point Reyes National Seashore.
